The Cabot family is one of the Boston Brahmin families, also known as the "first families of Boston".

History

Family

The Boston Brahmin Cabot family descended from John Cabot (born 1680 in Jersey, a British Crown Dependency and one of the Channel Islands), who emigrated from his birthplace to Salem, Massachusetts in 1700.[1]

The Cabot family emigrated from Jersey, where the family name can be traced back to at least 1274. In Latin, caput means "head", and the Rev. George Balleine writes that in Jersey the "cabot" is a small fish that seems all head.[2] In French, once a commonly spoken language in Jersey, "cabot" means a dog, or a military corporal, "caboter" is to navigate along the coast, and "cabotin" means "theatrical".[3]

Boston Toast

The widely known[1][5][23][24] "Boston Toast" by Holy Cross alumnus John Collins Bossidy features the Cabot family:

And this is good old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots,
And the Cabots talk only to God.[25]

Kabotchnik v. Cabot

In 1923, Harry H. Kabotchnik and his wife Myrtle petitioned to have his family name changed to Cabot.[26]

Some prominent Cabots of Boston (Judge Cabot of the Boston Juvenile Court; Stephen Cabot, headmaster of St. George's School, Middletown, R.I.; Dr. Hugh Cabot, dean of Michigan University Medical School[27]) along with the Pennsylvania branch of the Order of the Founders and Patriots, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania counter-sued to prevent the change.[28]

Judge Charles Young Audenried eventually ruled for the Kabotchniks,[29] as there was "nothing in the law to prevent it."[30]
